Reverse steering

Mono it Ride no-hands ;-)

OK, so I put together a bike today that has reverse steering. You know, the type you see at
festivals occasionally. Left goes right, right goes left, rider falls off...

Anyhow, it's goes well, but I don't know the trick to riding it, and just keep falling off, like
everyone else does. Does anyway have any clues as to how to actually ride one of these things? Is
there some jedi mind trick to it?

Learn the same way you did a regular bike. (or walking) practise, practice, practice, ... until
its natural.

Of course, then you'll fall off a regular bike.

I talked to a guy who says he can ride one of these. My initial thought was to cross your arms. He
said he found it easiest and could ride the bike by looking at the front wheel all the time.

That was what I figured. Watch the wheel, and guide it that way. I will give it another go today.

Once I get used to it, the pedalling gets reversed and the elliptical wheels go onto it. If I can
still manage to ride that, it will be converted to a fixie. Then I leave it sitting outside of a pub
late at night so someone can try to steal it!

Hey, it would be a good anti-theft device if you could add a shim or something to a normal bike that
would make it turn back to front ;-)

Kinda like a cut-off switch in a car!
